Cassie:  

Hmm...maybe.  However, unlike the other characters in the books who revealed 
themselves to be evil at the end, Umbridge was 'evil' throughout. The others 
tried to help Harry and really did fool him.  I can imagine Harry being shocked 
she did this, but not shocked that she was the one who did it (especially 
after the terrible things she's done and what a terrible woman she is) 

Maybe that's my criteria.  Good characters that WE would have never expected 
to be the villian.
